B2 - Writing Plans DUE. In class today, I returned Comparative Analysis Rough Drafts. Students were asked to work on their Final Drafts and to start working on a draft of their research paper. About two pages should be ready for peer-editing on Wednesday. Assignment: Final Drafts of the Comparative Analysis are due on Friday.
B3 - After Pleasure Reading and Book Talks, I collected wigs for Extra Credit. We then walked through the notes from last week to review the material on Greek Theater and Aristotle's definition of Tragedy. For the remainder of the block, we finished our discussion of the Opinionnaire. Assignment: None! You will have NWEA testing on Wednesday.
B4 - Students were asked to sign up for Book Talks today. The calendar is now locked. If you need to sign up due to being absent, please email me, and I will help you get signed up. After Pleasure Reading, students were asked to write a journal titled, "Ok? or Nah, J/K" about the fact that Romeo just murdered Juliet's cousin and still wants to have his wedding night with his wife. From there, we went over the Act III: Scenes 1-3 Review Sheet. We then started reading Act III: Scenes 4-5. We will have to finish Scene 5 next time, if we have time for that. Assignments: Some of you have Book Talks on Wednesday. You will have the NWEA test on Wednesday as well.
